We’ve survived the madness. With the Final Four upon us, fans can expect to see some high-level basketball between the best teams throughout the season.
This year’s NCAA men’s Final Four is merely the second time in history all No. 1 seeds have made it that far and the first since 2008.
In both the men’s and women’s tournaments, the University of Connecticut is the lone non-No. 1 seed to make the Final Four — in the women’s tournament, beating No. 1 University of South California. USC lost 2025 Naismith Women’s College player of the year Juju Watkins for the season earlier in the tournament.
